One 18 day in July, she sent George to the woods. He was to stay there all day to get as much wood as he could. He worked very hard so that by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a 19 place where he might rest for a while and eat his dinner.

While he hunted around the bank of the stream, he saw among the moss (苔藓) some fine wild 20 , which were a bright red with ripeness (成熟).

In many organizations, perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team.

Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages. First of all, a group of people have more knowledge, more experience, and more skills in different fields than any single individual (个体) does. A group can work more quickly whenever the task is assigned. And a group can come up with highly creative solutions (解决方法) to problems because of the numbers of people who take part and greater resources they have.

Also, a group is more likely to make risky decisions which a single individual might not make. This is because the group spreads responsibility (责任) to all the members. And thus, if the decision turns out to be wrong, no single individual can be held accountable (负有责任的).

Then, taking part in a group can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about doing the work than they might do what is imposed (把……强加于) on them by others.

Last but not least, the team member has a much better chance to “shine”. This is because they get more chances to have his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized (认可), but recognized as highly important. This kind of high-recognition is because a team’s achievement or influence is much higher than the individual’s. A team can finish and achieve what the individual can’t do. And a team can reach a height which the individual can’t reach. 34. How many advantages of a team are mentioned in the passage? A. Two.

B. Three.

C. Four.

D. Five.

35. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ________. A. many organizations gather people into teams B. it is good to form a team to complete tasks

C. new projects are often sent to large groups

D. people would like to communicate in groups

36. Which of the following is true according to paragraphs 2 & 3? A. A group of people are sure to be highly creative. B. A team always finish more tasks than individuals. C. It’s difficult for a team to make creative decisions. D. The members of a group can share responsibility. 37. A team is worth taking part in because ________. A. individuals do not have rights to make decisions B. team members have better changes to be excellent C. team members are easily respected by other people D. individuals can not achieve goals or reach a height

C

We spend about one-third of our lives asleep. This may sound like a lot of time, but it is not wasted. Our bodies need sleep to stay healthy. Not getting enough sleep can make us sick. Sleep and our immune (免疫) system

The immune system protects the body from diseases and infections (传染). Not getting enough sleep hurts this protective system.

The Mayo Clinic is a research hospital in the United States. Its website explains that when we sleep our bodies produce proteins (蛋白质) that support sleep and help us fight infections. They add that infection-fighting antibodies (抗体) are reduced during periods when you don’t get enough sleep.

A new study from the University of Washington in the U. S. seems to confirm this. Dr. Nathaniel Watson was the lead writer of the study. Watson says his study shows that the immune system works best when the body gets enough sleep. For the study, Watson and his team studied 11 pairs of twins. This is an important difference from other sleep studies. Other research did not study twins. Researchers found that the twin who slept less had a weaker immune system.

Watson says his study showed for the first time that a long-term lack (缺乏) of sleep shuts down parts of the immune system. He says parts that move white blood cells around the body are influenced. White blood cells fight infections in the body.
